How long does brow lamination last?

We all have hair that grows how it wants, where it wants and as fast as it wants. This includes the hair that grows above your eyes. The tricky thing about your brow hair is that the natural look may not always be the most harmonious shape for the rest of your face structure. Thankfully, there are non-invasive brow thickening treatments that are perfect for dealing with this. You don’t have to be stuck with the natural, unruly look of your brows. Modern brow products have evolved to the point of shaping your brows in a way most desirable to you. This is called brow lamination but at Ombré Beauty, you get something a step above this. Give us a call if you are interested in our keratin-infused techniques but let’s answer the question you came to this info pack for first. 

What is Brow Lamination?

You can consider a brow lamination a gentler perm because it achieves the same straightening process without the same discomfort. We’ll use a chemical product to set them in a uniform shape for an extended period. Your natural brow hairs will be painted with a keratin-enriched lifting formula that breaks down the natural structure of the existing structure. This softens every fibre of your brows in order for them to be easily brushed and set into desired shapes. The upward, outward brushing motion we use as the formula is applied is what gives the illusion that your brows are suddenly thicker and longer after they are set in place. After the setting process, we will apply restorative products best suited for you to calm the skin and enrich your brows. If you are interested, we can also do a quick brow shaping afterwards to give your brows even more definition. All of this shouldn’t take more than an hour to do but you can expect the effect to last for as much as 8 weeks in ideal applications. 

How Long Does Brow Lamination Last?

Properly done and maintained lamination is sure to last anywhere from four to six weeks. It is important that we emphasise those two parts again – “properly done” and “maintained.” Professional brow and lash treatments require the perfect combination of expert skills and your individual efforts towards honouring them. Brows and lashes are essentially made up of hair and that stuff is highly reactive. Treat it well and it well and it acts well but if you do the opposite, then you can expect patchy regrowth or worse. The same applies to how you treat your brows after lamination. The best way to ensure longevity is to treat them correctly. Straight after the treatment appointment try to stay away from steam and wetting your brows for the first 48 hours. 

Do Brows Go Back to Normal After Brow Lamination?

Nothing other than permanent makeup treatments has the power to permanently affect your brows. The hair on your eyebrows, like all the hair on your body, grows and sheds naturally, so anything we do is likely to eventually fade away. It all depends on how quickly your own body does this but in a couple of weeks, your brows will return to normal. If you want your brow lamination to last, you should arrange a touch-up appointment to keep the silky-smooth appearance intact. 

How Often Should I Laminate My Eyebrows?

We’ve already mentioned how a touch up may be necessary every couple of weeks, but this isn’t the case for everyone. The lamination is supposed to last for well over a month and that’s when it’s safe to go ahead and do another lamination. Brow lamination treatments have chemicals that aim to break down the natural fibre makeup of your brows, so doing it too often is not advised. There’s no need for you to go browsing the internet or doing guesswork, give us a call and we can give you expert advice about what to do specifically for you.

How to Maintain Brow Lamination?

The best way to maintain any of your brow or lash treatments is to rely on a service provider that is committed to helping you out along the way. That’s exactly what you’ll get with Ombré Beauty because we know the intricacies that go into this work. We will start by doing an application that requires very little maintenance. Your brows will likely need a quick brush through every morning and that’s it. We can do the lamination in conjugation will a properly planned brow tinting treatment to ensure that the application delivers an even better definition.
